Luxury, comfort and prestige can go hand in hand with nature. A hotel has been built in Amsterdam that meets all these requirements.
Hotel Jakarta in Amsterdam is entirely ecological. The building is based on a natural, wooden structure, uses modern energy technologies, creates a guest-friendly acoustic experience and has an indoor Indonesian garden. The project was designed from the beginning to be ecological and luxurious, so it is no wonder that it has won many prestigious awards for design and sustainable construction. According to the investor’s vision, the hotel was not only to be ecological but also to interact with its guests in a natural way. Therefore, in the area of the hotel’s restaurant and café, a suspended knobby ceiling was installed to serve ear-friendly acoustics.
